It is well-documented and fully specified, something that I think the
previous g++ ABI was not.

Also, since it is multi-vendor, it means that you'll finally be able
to link code compiled with g++ against code compiled with other C++
compilers.  Assuming, that is, that everybody wrings the last few bugs
out of their implementations.
